Lewis clasped Josephine’s hand again and slowly said, “Come with me. We’ll get the divorce certificate after your wounds are healed.”

Josephine slowly looked up after hearing this.

“Can we go now?”

Josephine lowered her eyes again and stared at her toes.

Lewis brought her to the car and helped her fasten her seat belts. Then, he went to the driver’s seat and drove out of the mansion’s compound.

When they arrived back at Styx Mansion, Lewis brought out the first aid kit and cleaned Josephine’s hands of the blood stains with the disinfectant.

“It’s done.”

Josephine kept her head lowered all the time. When she heard him, she quietly withdrew her hand.

Lewis raised his hand to touch her face, but she turned her head slightly and dodged his hand.
